<u>Answer:</u>

First car:  35 gallons

Second car: 15 gallons

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Assuming x to be the gas consumed by 1st car and 50 - x to be the gas consumed by 2nd car.

We know that:

Distance traveled = fuel efficiency × gas consumed

20x+35(50-x)=1225

20x+1750-35x=1225

35x-20x=1750-1225

15x=525

x=35

So 50 - x = 50-35=15

Therefore, first car consumed 35 gallons while second car consumed 15 gallons.

Answer:

First car: 35 gallons

Second car: 15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations.Let be "x" the number of gallons consumed by the first car and "y" the number of gallons consumed by the second car.

Then:

\left \{ {{x+y=50} \atop {20x+35y=1,225}} \right.

Applying the Elimination method, multiply the first equation by -20, then  add both equations and solve for "y":

\left \{ {{-20x-20y=1,000} \atop {20x+35y=1,225}} \right. \\.......................\\15y=225\\y=15

Substitute this value into the first equation and solve for "x":

x+15=50\\x=35

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to do this, you plug the point C (5,6) and the point D (2,2) into the distance formula, which was provided below. x2-x1 is 3, and that squared is 9. y2-y1 is 4, and that squared in 16. When adding 9 and 16 together, you get 25. When taking the square root of 25, you get + or - 5, but since distance cannot be negative on the coordinate plane, you get 5.
